    Convergence of two global regulators to coordinate expression of essential virulence determinants of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

    Hina Khan, Partha Paul ... Dibyendu Sarkar
    The two global regulators CRP and PhoP interact with each other to coordinate expression of essential virulence determinants of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

    Neural dynamics of causal inference in the macaque frontoparietal circuit

    Guangyao Qi, Wen Fang ... Liping Wang
    In causal inference, the premotor cortex dynamically integrates prior information and current sensory inputs to infer hidden structures, and selectively updates sensory representations in the parietal cortex to support behavior.

    Analyzing the brainstem circuits for respiratory chemosensitivity in freely moving mice

    Amol Bhandare, Joseph van de Wiel ... Nicholas Dale
    Recordings from brainstem nuclei involved in chemosensory regulation of breathing in awake freely behaving mice show different complementary types of neuronal responses to hypercapnia in the retrotrapezoid nucleus and the rostral medullary raphe.

    Precise and stable edge orientation signaling by human first-order tactile neurons

    Vaishnavi Sukumar, Roland S Johansson, J Andrew Pruszynski
    Individual human first-order tactile neurons, those that innervate the mechanoreceptors in the skin, can signal information about edge orientation differences at the limit of what people can feel and across a broad range of speeds relevant for real-world hand use.

    HIV skews the SARS-CoV-2 B cell response towards an extrafollicular maturation pathway

    Robert Krause, Jumari Snyman ... Alasdair Leslie
    A skewed B cell response in people living with HIV proceeds via an extrafollicular path and could result in reduced affinity B cell memory and antibody responses.

    Structure and flexibility of the yeast NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex

    Stefan A Zukin, Matthew R Marunde ... Avinash B Patel
    The core of histone acetyltransferase complex, NuA4, flexibly tethers various histone recognition modules, including the HAT module which is capable of binding nucleosomes marked by H3K4me3 and H3 acetylation.

    Enriched dietary saturated fatty acids induce trained immunity via ceramide production that enhances severity of endotoxemia and clearance of infection

    Amy L Seufert, James W Hickman ... Brooke A Napier
    Enriched dietary SFAs, specifically palmitic acid (PA), induce a broad and long-lived innate immune memory response which is harmful during disease exacerbated by inflammation, but beneficial for pathogen clearance.

    Structure of SARS-CoV-2 M protein in lipid nanodiscs

    Kimberly A Dolan, Mandira Dutta ... Stephen G Brohawn
    A cryo-EM structure of the SARS-CoV-2 M protein, the most abundant protein in the viral envelope, provides insight into its essential role in virus assembly.

    A phenotype-based forward genetic screen identifies Dnajb6 as a sick sinus syndrome gene

    Yonghe Ding, Di Lang ... Xiaolei Xu
    Dnajb6 is identified as a novel sick sinus syndrome causative gene that exhibits a unique expression pattern within a subpopulation of sinus node pacemaker cells.

    Mobilome-driven segregation of the resistome in biological wastewater treatment

    Laura de Nies, Susheel Bhanu Busi ... Paul Wilmes
    Biological wastewater treatment plants are critical reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), allowing for early detection and monitoring of resistant pathogens, whilst serving as models for understanding the segregation of mobile genetic elements through AMR.
